POPSA Myth That Kills Unless a person chooses to be in those "well-defined risk-behavior groups" your chances of getting AIDS is almost nil. The exceptions are tainted blood transfusions and unknowingly having sex with an infected person...which is easy to prevent.

POPSPrasugrel Delayed The Food and Drug Administration will take another three months to make a decision on Lilly's blood thinner. Given the lack of an advisory panel and the controversy surrounding the drug, this is not a huge surprise. Exactly what info the FDA needs going forward is not clear.

POPSHerbal Medicine Favourites There are a few staple herbal remedies in my medicine cabinet & this is one I can't do without. It's amazing for healing sprains & increases the rapidity of the healing of bruising. I lent a pot (blended with peppermint & hypercium) to a friend of mine who works in an area where there are frequent injuries & the medical powers that be were so impressed they've started using it on a regular basis

POPSRed wine's resveratrol may help battle obesity In the cell-based study, they found that resveratrol inhibited the pre-fat cells from increasing and prevented them from converting into mature fat cells. Also, resveratrol hindered fat storage. Most interesting, according to Fischer-Posovszky, was that resveratrol reduced production of certain cytokines (interleukins 6 and 8), substances that may be linked to the development of obesity-related disorders, such as diabetes and clogged coronary arteries. Also, resveratrol stimulated formation of a protein known to decrease the risk of heart attack. Obesity decreases this substance, called adiponectin.

POPSRussert's massive heart attack. People have to die from something. Sooner or later. Nobody can avoid the end. Tim Russert was exposed to the dangers of our modern life as nobody other. Journalism itself, politic, traveling, long work day, stress of high level of management, some routine health problems and lifestyle. May be some of these components were too excessive. A kind of dissonance from harmony.

POPShas coconut oil been getting a bad rap? If coconut oil were really as unhealthy as we've been told, you'd think everyone in Kerala (India) and Thailand, among others, would be keeling over right and left from congestive heart disease. Our shifting understanding of health and nutrition really feels like we're in a through-the-looking-glass stage: Wait, so it's vegetable shortening and canola oil that are bad for us, and butter and coconut oil that are good for us? I agree with Michael Pollan: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. And for goodness sake, stay away from the ersatz food-like products.
